[1]    L&L note: please note that the Dutch law requirements regarding the applicability of general terms and conditions must be observed in order to bind the Dutch users to these Terms of Service.

[2]    L&L note: we point out that this is a controversial provision considering the declaration fiction (verklaringsfictie) as it applies in Dutch consumer law. Accordingly, it cannot be said with certainty that this provision will hold up in Dutch courts.

[3]    L&L note: we point out that this is a controversial provision considering the declaration fiction (verklaringsfictie) as it applies in Dutch consumer law. Accordingly, it cannot be said with certainty that this provision will hold up in Dutch courts.

[4]    L&L note: Since we have not yet been able to look at the applicable terms regarding the Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods, it is not possible to fully assess whether, and if so, under which conditions, it is possible to exclude rescission or withdrawal.

[5]    L&L note: It could be argued that this amounts to restricting the consumer's right of rescission in general terms and conditions, which is not allowed under Dutch. However, it is not entirely whether this also applies here, especially since we have not (yet) reviewed the applicable terms regarding the Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods,

[6]    L&L note: under Dutch law, exoneration of liability in general terms and conditions applicable to consumers is almost never allowed. In view of Kakao's desire to mirror Elyon's terms of use, we have nevertheless included this exoneration clause, also since there is an argument to be made that exoneration in respect of User Content should be possible.

[8]    L&L note: under Dutch law, exoneration of liability in general terms and conditions applicable to consumers is almost never allowed. Limitation and exclusion of damage is in principle only possible in those cases in which the user of the general terms and conditions cannot reasonably market the goods or services without exoneration. In view of Kakao's desire to mirror Elyon's terms of use, we have nevertheless included a limited limitation and exclusion of liability. 

[9]    L&L note: Please note that this force majeure provision as currently drafted (likely) constitutes an exoneration clause under Dutch law. The previous footnote 7 about the limited permissibility of exoneration clauses is therefore also applicable to this provision.
